Sharing problem

microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking sharing

I set sharing on all drives in Vista Business. I gave full control to
everyone.
I can see all drives from the machine with XP Pro, but I cannot open any of
them. I'm getting 'Access denied. You might not have permission....'
I use Workgroup. I have no problem to see all drives and their contents on
XP from Vista.
What else should I do to get or give those permissions?

I added 'Everyone' to the list of users and gave a full control. After that
I can open drives from another machine.
